Chapter 22: Sands City, Which Even Dogs Hate!

At this time, the head of the horse bandit stronghold, who had received the news, was full of anger.

The second head, Cui Hu, and the third head, Guo Rong, were all dead!

None of the brothers who were taken out came back alive!

Everything that happened made him shocked and angry!

The garrison in the nearby town was obviously not strong, but he didn't know what bastard had suddenly appeared!

Not only did he capture many of his brothers alive, but he even killed his second and third brothers on the spot!

Now, he was the only one left in the stronghold.

How could he not be sad and angry? !

The second brother Cui Hu and the third brother Guo Rong were brothers who built this horse bandit stronghold together!

When they became sworn brothers, he was older and was considered the eldest brother among the three.

But now, his two younger brothers have died before him.

This made it difficult for Nie Hailong, the head of the stronghold, to hide his anger!

"Second brother, third brother! Big brother will definitely avenge you!"

Nie Hailong's voice was sad and choking, and he gritted his teeth when he spoke.

He swore that he must avenge his two younger brothers!

The rest of the horse thieves in the mountain stronghold also had a cruel look on their faces.

There were less than 500 horse thieves in the mountain stronghold, and they said in unison at this time.

"Revenge for the second and third bosses!"

The voices were deafening!

Nie Hailong jumped on his horse, and his eyes flashed with deep hatred.

"Let's go!"

He led all the remaining horse thieves and rushed to a place quickly.

In the town several miles away, County Magistrate Zhou and Captain Yang had not yet realized that these horse thieves were approaching.

A battle was inevitable!

......

However, these had nothing to do with Qin Ming.

With the addition of horses, the speed of the entire team was much faster!

But this was not a small burden on the horses!

You know, Qin Ming's subordinates, those Qingjia soldiers, are carrying a lot of heavy loads!

Therefore, after running for a while, the horses need to stop and take a breath.

Otherwise, these horses may really be at risk of sudden death!

Lingnan, which was originally a few days away, is not far away in less than a day!

When he stopped to rest again, Pei Zhi took a look around and soon brought good news.

It is less than a hundred miles away from the border of Lingnan!

This news should be good news for Qin Ming.

But for Pei Zhi, it is not necessarily.

As the group got closer to Lingnan, Pei Zhi's expression became more and more lonely.

His Majesty's imperial edict is expected to arrive soon!

The Sixth Prince, such a proud son of heaven, will be exiled to this desolate and cold Lingnan for life!

It's really unfair!

Although he only spent one day with Qin Ming!

But in his heart, he has already had a preliminary understanding of what kind of person this Sixth Prince is.

Maybe he may be a little cold on the surface, but Pei Zhi can see that the Sixth Prince seems to be a kind person.

This can be seen from the personal maid who has been following the Sixth Prince.

When treating people around him, the Sixth Prince can be regarded as very gentle.

And when treating himself and the soldier named Yunchang, the prince also values ​​them very much.

He is respectful to the wise and humble, kind-hearted, and has no arrogance of a prince!

This inevitably makes Pei Zhi feel even more sorry.

It's a pity that the Sixth Prince has no background and no power in the court.

Unlike the other princes, the mothers of those princes are either in charge of the army or the money at home.

Now he has ended up being exiled to Lingnan.

If His Majesty had not withdrawn his order, the Sixth Prince would have to stay in Lingnan for the rest of his life.

Pei Zhi looked at Qin Ming with complicated eyes.

The Sixth Prince seemed to have never shown a look of resentment.

He was exiled to this barren Lingnan by his own father.

He was not allowed to leave here for the rest of his life, and he would probably die here!

Doesn't he hate it?

If it were Pei Zhi, he would have...

Pei Zhi dared not speak, and his thoughts at this moment were extremely treasonous.

He would lose his head!

He told Qin Ming his discovery truthfully.

After learning that the distance to the border of Lingnan was less than 100 miles, Qin Ming nodded slightly.

For the current Qingjia Army, a distance of 100 miles is less than half a day.

After entering the territory of Lingnan, it will be the time for Qin Ming to really show his skills!

Qin Ming's points at this time have reached more than 60,000!

He can rush his troops at any time!

With more than 60,000 points, more than 2,000 Qingjia soldiers can be mass-produced!

This is crucial for Qin Ming to consolidate his position in Lingnan!

In Lingnan, a no-man's land, money and other things are empty!

Having military power is the real thing!

Although they passed through many cities along the way, Qin Ming did not choose to stop.

In this way, they arrived in Lingnan a little faster.

Finally, when the stars were hanging over the plains again, Qin Ming and others finally appeared in the neighboring city of Lingnan, Jinsha City!

Before entering Jinsha City, Qin Ming had already frowned.

This Jinsha City is located in the north of Lingnan, and the city's dilapidation is almost visible to the naked eye.

It is even more dilapidated than the town where Qin Ming rested yesterday.

There are only three or two militiamen guarding the gate of Jinsha City.

To say they are guarding is just nodding and dozing off at their posts.

However, for the defenders of Jinsha City, they don't think it will be a big deal even if there is no one guarding.

This is Lingnan, a place that even dogs despise.

The reason why they stay in Lingnan is that they either grew up here for generations or are like Qin Ming.

They committed some crimes, but they were not sentenced to death, so they were exiled here.

With the passage of time and continuous development, the Lingnan area has become more and more "scared of tigers".

At least ordinary people absolutely don't want to set foot here.

Even merchants who travel around want to avoid this place.

And now, Jinsha City has welcomed a group of people.

Welcomed its future owner!

Qin Ming looked at the dilapidated city gate in front of him, and his disgust was undisguised.

It felt like this city gate didn't need siege wood or a fierce and powerful charge.

I'm afraid it would only take a dozen Qingjia soldiers to charge at full force, and the city gate would collapse, right?

Looking at the Jinsha City in front of him, a thought suddenly came to Qin Ming's mind.

This city... doesn't look very defensive.

He even had an illusion.

He led more than 500 Qingjia soldiers behind him, and he could probably capture Jinsha City!

As Qin Ming and others approached.

The Jinsha City defenders who were constantly dozing off finally woke up from their doze.

Seeing Qin Ming and his group at this time, he rubbed his eyes, looking like he had seen a ghost.

"Someone come!"
